I am enjoying this game despite how frustrating it can be. The thing that keeps me coming back is all the weird enemies. In the first couple of stages alone you have a Baxter the Fly, a Batman and a flying spinning skull man. They get kookier as the game…

When Yokoi Kids decided that Nail ‘n Scale was going to be the August 2025 game of the month I was curious to see if this game would play well on a modern setup. These types of games are kinda unusual for me to play, but intriguing considering my current…

August is here and I’m a tiny bit stressed! The one year countdown to our cross-country move begins today. You know what’s good for stress? Games. Especially games that are more or less new to us here at Yokoi HQ. Here’s Yokoi Dad Nolen to fill you in on…

Summertime is for bad shorts. My go-to pair of bad shorts are blue and have jellyfish all over them. I have a go-to bad tank top that I wear with them that is covered in melting smiley faces. I’m going to wear these while playing June’s game – Black Bass…

Megalit is a great puzzler but I think I get too impatient with the movement of the character. I drew this at a coffee shop while waiting for my car to get washed.  Check out more Nolening at Nolentabner.com

Big thanks to Rick, Nolen, Ian, and the rest of the YK for allowing me to select another game. In the past, I had selected games which I had a personal connection to from my youth. This time around, I selected something completely different and new to me,…

Good April to you! The stores are full of chocolate eggs, generic brand jelly beans no one likes, and those marshmallow birds that, if you do like them, will get you judged (so I’m keeping my mouth shut). Our game this month was picked by Pete Plev, who…
